She had no one to rely on but herself.

Leaning against the side of the medical vehicle, Liu Yi’s face was turned away from the light. When she heard the startled exclamations, she waved her small hand without even looking back, a gesture that was polite, but nothing more. Even though the crowd couldn’t quite see the girl’s features, they could still sense her lively, refined aura.

A sudden, sputtering roar broke the tense silence. The abrupt arrival of Old Madam Liu nearly scared the onlookers out of their wits, as she fired her bullets as if they cost nothing. Yet, the bullets merely struck her flowing python-shed garment, leaving her unharmed.

In the blink of an eye, the gunman’s weapon was empty, the antidote had vanished, and the Night-Clad Yi, who should have been immobilized before him, had also disappeared.

Despite facing the fierce onslaught from the Xing Tian Sect alliance—who had thrown all three thousand of their attacking force into this very first engagement—the Firewood Gang alliance remained unfazed.

Could it be that Nalan Zi was about to enjoy a second spring? Qing Luo’s gaze toward Lin Jingxuan changed instantly. During these past three years, only a fool would believe Yan Sifang hadn’t played a significant role in all this.

The others nodded in agreement. The insect beasts, after all, survived on wild herbs and their own meat, while the humans—what had they been eating? Who could say?

Old Freak Xingyue could no longer hold on. He spat a mouthful of dark blood and was sent hurtling backwards like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground.

Kong Li felt a chill run down his spine. He could sense that the other party wasn’t trying to intimidate him; the words spoken were genuine, and that was what truly terrified him.

Even as this exchange took place, Jun Tianheng had already come to Lan Ke’s side and could clearly see what was being shown in the video.

Three “Kiss for a Kiss” looked at her in confusion. He couldn’t understand why she wanted to untie the imposter, but in the end, he still followed Xintong’s instructions.

To be his wife would certainly be blissful—provided they loved one another. As for her own marriage to him, Yan Dantong could only force a bitter smile. She had carelessly registered with a random man, only to have her second brother scheme against her.

Shan Yazi shook his head again. Guo Changxing, enraged, coughed up blood, splattering it all over Shan Yazi.

He disliked Ouyang Yingqi always concerning herself with others. He wished her heart would be devoted solely to him.

The man deftly tied a slipknot in the rope. “The village chief is getting impatient—we can’t wait for him to suffocate slowly. Let’s get it over with.” As he spoke, he pressed a knee to the merchant’s chest and, gritting his teeth, tightened the rope. The merchant convulsed twice and then moved no more.

Only then did Ouyang Shanglie instinctively withdraw his hand—he had just mistaken Ye Yuqing for Ouyang Yingqi, and such a gesture would have been perfectly normal before Ouyang Yingqi.

“Yes, brother, where are you from?” Guo Jing had traveled alone all this way, and his Mongolian warmth made him eager for conversation, delighted that someone had spoken to him.

It must be said, the carousel was yet another blow to Nangong Linyi’s pride. He could accept the pirate ship and roller coaster, but this—this was even more childish.

Most importantly, they all knew that if they made a move now, the dozen or so rogue cultivators who had boarded the ship with Su Bai would never consent, nor would the members of the major factions aboard the Sun and Moon Giant Wheel. At that moment, the two previously hostile groups would surely unite against them.

Liu Zongzhou’s estimation was more or less accurate. Tianqi did, in fact, intend to use the notion of “excess brings trouble” to prove the validity of his viewpoint. Yet, he didn’t dwell long on Confucius’s words, but instead moved straight to the day’s topic: whether the price of the newspaper ought to be raised in the future.

“However, it’s best to use this skill only after mastering the mental restraint technique. Otherwise, you’ll get the same effect as last time on Mount Song,” Yu Sheng cautioned again.

Though Wang Tian had already driven quite far, only the sound of Wang Changgui’s footsteps and the car’s engine could be heard, so Kyle’s furious roar still reached their ears. Knowing they could finally escape, Wang Tian was overcome with excitement, pulling off a perfect 180-degree drift to swerve past Bai Wuchang and speed ahead.
